Joleen "Jo" Bennett (Josh Porter
Joshua "Josh" Porter (Charles Esten) is the former Stamford Regional Manager. The character is first mentioned in the "Pilot (The Office), Pilot", and makes his debut in "Valentine's Day (The Office), Valentine's Day". During his time as the Stamford manager, he is seemingly a more responsible and competent boss than Michael, being held in higher esteem by Jan Levinson, although it is often implied that Michael's branch is more productive than Josh's, and Michael is a more accomplished salesman. Josh becomes Jim's boss in Season 3 after Jim transfers to Stamford. Michael resents Josh due to his favored position in the company, and initially because he feels that Jim prefers Josh's friendship to his own. In deleted scenes from the episode "The Convention (The Office), The Convention", Josh states that he once spent time working in Israel, and also tells Dwight that he was once a member of the United States Coast Guard. In "Branch Closing", when the Scranton branch is set to close, Josh is offered a promotion to become the manager of Dunder Mifflin's newly formed Northeast region. However, he leverages the offer to obtain a senior management job with Staples, Inc., Staples, throwing plans for the Scranton branch closing into disarray. As a result of Josh's maneuvering, the Stamford branch is closed instead. Disgusted, Jim later says of Josh's double-dealing, "Say what you will about Michael Scott – but he would ''never'' do that".Charles Miner
Charles Miner (Idris Elba) appears in the fifth season, as the Vice President of Northeast Sales for Dunder Mifflin, having taken over the position vacated by Ryan and Jan. Before coming to Dunder Mifflin, he was previously employed by Saticoy Steel, and came from an accounting background. He is introduced in the episode "New Boss", where his no-nonsense management skills clash with Michael's laid-back demeanor, and upon meeting Jim, immediately develops a dislike towards him. His handsome appearance and firm attitude causes both Angela and Kelly to develop an immediate attraction to him, later stating that "(he) was aware of the effect he had on women" and wasn't interested in pursuing either of them. Charles soon causes Michael to quit after Charles cancels a party celebrating Michael's 15th anniversary with the company. Charles repeatedly expresses contempt for Jim and also lets Dwight know that he's impressed by his work and plans to give him more to do. In "Broke (The Office), Broke", fretful over Michael's new company poaching several clients, Charles meets with David Wallace at the branch, and shamelessly sucks up to David, which Jim notices. Charles tries to have Jim barred from a meeting where David Wallace had specifically invited Jim to attend, referring to Jim as "a disappointment" and giving more credence to Dwight, but soon finds out that he was wrong about both Dwight's great ability and Jim's weaknesses, and Jim recognizes this and both loses his fear/hope for respect with Charles and starts to make his own case over Michael's company and how to handle it with confidence. This soon prompts Charles to immediately turn to Jim over Dwight during negotiations with Michael. When Charles tries sucking up to Wallace again, Jim bluntly says that Charles failed to do anything to stem the damage Michael had caused, leaving him speechless. When Michael is later re-hired in the episode, he demands that Charles be fired, but David refuses, stating that Charles is "valuable". Charles does, however, leave Scranton and return to corporate headquarters. Upon his departure, his attempt to give a parting speech is coldly shut down by Michael, who tells him he's done and that he needs to leave, which he does. Charles reappears in "Company Picnic", where he is again condescending to Jim and heavily competitive in the volleyball game against the Scranton branch. However, it is also confirmed that Charles no longer has any authority over the Scranton office. In "The Banker (The Office), The Banker", Pam states that Michael is now the highest ranking employee in what remains of Dunder Mifflin following termination of executive leadership due to mismanagement.Episode "The Banker (The Office), The Banker" While this strongly implied that Charles has lost his job, this is not confirmed until "Viewing Party", when Michael names Charles as one of the many bosses he has outlasted.Episode "Viewing Party" Idris Elba was the second former cast member of the HBO drama ''The Wire'', after Amy Ryan, to be hired for a recurring role on ''The Office''.Ed Truck
Edward "Ed" Truck (Ken Howard) was the former Regional Manager of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch, for whom Michael worked until Ed retired. He was responsible for hiring Creed, Phyllis, and Darryl, as well as ending the mandatory retirement age that the company instituted, by filing an age discrimination lawsuit. In the episode "The Carpet (The Office), The Carpet", Michael believes that the fecal matter left on his office carpet was left there because he is disliked by his employees. He tricks Truck into meeting with him (by claiming that they need to discuss his pension), and asks for his opinions on the situation. As Ed reveals, someone had defecated on his office carpet, as well, and his advice to Michael is "Why can't you just let your workers be your workers, your friends be your friends, and your family be your family?" (the joke here is that Michael has no real friends or family, and his employees serve as reluctant surrogates). In "Grief Counseling (The Office), Grief Counseling", Jan informs Michael that Ed has recently died. While he is surprised at the news, Michael does not appear to mourn Ed's death, until Creed informs him of the gruesome way Ed had died: He was apparently "drunk as a skunk", and driving on U.S. Route 6 in Pennsylvania, Route 6, when he managed to go under an Semi-trailer truck, 18-wheeler, Decapitation, decapitating himself. Michael soon expresses feelings of extreme remorse, and he requests that a statue of Ed be erected in his memory, but Jan nixes the suggestion, stating that corporate would not like it. As a compromise, there is a Commemorative plaque, plaque honoring him, which hangs between Michael's office and the Conference room.Dan Gore
Dan Gore (Dan Cole) is the Regional Manager of the Buffalo, New York, Buffalo branch. He was first introduced in "Valentine's Day (The Office), Valentine's Day" attending the meeting with the new CFO, David Wallace. He also attended Wallace's cocktail party in "Cocktails (The Office), Cocktails", and was seen in "Launch Party" trying to see if his branch's camera was working. He was one of the company leaders who attended Ryan's wilderness retreat, along with Toby (and not the pointedly un-invited Michael Scott). It is announced in "Company Picnic" that the Buffalo branch is closing due to the terrible recession hitting the U.S. economy.Craig
Craig (Craig Anton) is the incompetent, boorish Manager of the Albany, New York, Albany branch who appears in "Valentine's Day (The Office), Valentine's Day". He resents Jan, and his relationship with Michael is soured when they argue over their opinions of Jan. Craig tries to save face by leaking Michael's relationship between the two in front of David Wallace. Michael later jokes that Craig "is not the sharpest tool in the shed" in an attempt to defend Jan. In "Survivor Man", Craig is not invited on Ryan's Regional Manager retreat or otherwise mentioned, possibly meaning that he no longer works in that position. In a deleted scene from "Stress Relief (The Office), Stress Relief", it is mentioned that the Albany branch is closing, which confirms that Craig has been fired from the company.Troy Underbridge
Troy L. Underbridge (Noel Petok) is a corporate executive who works in banking, and is notorious for encouraging Ryan's partying and cocaine Substance abuse, abuse. Due to his short height, Dwight is convinced that he is actually a hobbit. Troy first appears in "The Deposition (The Office), The Deposition", and reappears, with a more pivotal role, in the episode "Night Out (The Office), Night Out". In a deleted scene, from "Goodbye, Toby", he arrives at the Scranton branch, but is reluctant to reveal why he came instead of Ryan; Jim is eager to deliver an unfriendly message to Ryan via Troy, but Troy says that he now reports to Wallace instead of Ryan, and Jim asks "What is going on?". After the YouTube video of Ryan being arrested for fraud is discovered, Troy is asked if he has any information on the arrest, but merely states, "Maybe I do". He is later seen in Michael's film, ''Threat Level Midnight'', in the Threat Level Midnight, episode of the same name, playing one of Goldenface's henchmen. His middle initial is revealed on the ''Threat Level Midnight'' website, which is supposed to be read like "troll under bridge". Since he worked for the Dunder Mifflin corporate office, it is presumed that he was fired from the company, along with all of the other corporate executives, after Dunder Mifflin was bought out by Sabre. However, Troy later resurfaces in "Junior Salesman" as one of the bizarro job applicants applying for a part-time sales position at the Scranton branch. Troy exhibits strange behavior along with the rest of the group, such as shotgunning a soda during lunch. He is later seen in a group paintball photo, raising the finger to Dwight when it's revealed that Dwight's interviewing of the applicants was just a ruse to keep Clark from getting the job and joining them in letting Dwight know they permanently hated him.Sales
Karen Filippelli
Karen Filippelli (Rashida Jones) is Gay Witch Hunt, introduced as a sales representative at the Stamford branch ofDanny Cordray
Danny Cordray (Timothy Olyphant) is a traveling salesman of Dunder Mifflin and former rival salesman of the company. He is introduced in "The Sting (The Office), The Sting", where, after stealing a potential client, Michael, Dwight and Jim set up an in-building sting to copy his skills as a salesman, but Danny eventually discovers the operation. While he is initially angry with them, he decides to accept Michael's job offer. In "Costume Contest", he impresses his fellow employees by inviting them all to a Halloween party at ''Public School'', the bar he owns. When Jim discovers that Danny briefly dated Pam, while he was in Stamford, Jim pesters Danny to reveal why he did not call her back, and he eventually admits that he found Pam "kind of dorky", something which bothers Jim more than it does Pam. He is found to be very attractive by many members of the office, including Meredith who tries to seduce him. In " Michael's Last Dundies", he wins the "Hottest in The Office" Dundie, defeating reigning champ Ryan, and appeared in a deleted scene, accepting his award from pre-recorded footage.A.J.
A.J. (Rob Huebel) is an affable salesman at the Nashua branch who becomes Holly's boyfriend after she's transferred there from Scranton and breaks off her relationship with Michael. Michael meets him on his Lecture Circuit and becomes devastated when he learns Holly is dating him. Michael awkwardly calls out A.J. during his presentation about Holly, but A.J. doesn't react. He is seen again at the Company Picnic along with Holly, whom he is still dating. A.J. tells Michael they've started designing a house for themselves. Michael makes a number of joking insults at A.J., who doesn't respond to them. After Michael and Holly's disastrous presentation, coupled with the obvious affection the two still have for each other, Michael maturely lets Holly leave with A.J. as he is not going to force anything to happen between them. After Holly is temporarily transferred back to Scranton in season 7, she reveals to other women in the office that she and A.J. are going through problems and that she is upset that he has not proposed to her yet. At their suggestion she decides to give A.J an ultimatum to either propose to her by New Year's or end their relationship. A.J. surprises Holly at the office Christmas party in " Classy Christmas". In "Ultimatum (The Office), Ultimatum", Holly returns to work and reveals that A.J. did not propose to her, but she has decided to continue dating him anyway. However, she soon becomes upset that she did not follow through with the ultimatum and calls A.J. to say she wants a break between them. Soon after she ends their relationship and begins dating Michael again.Ben Nugent
Ben Nugent (voiced by writer Lester Lewis) is the top salesman at the Utica branch, whom Michael calls and unsuccessfully attempts to poach, in the episode "Branch Wars". The character's name was based on a real-life writer who was datingTodd Packer
Todd Packer ( David Koechner), based on The Office (British TV series), Chris Finch of the British version, is the boorish, alcoholic andAdministrative assistants
Cathy Simms
Cathy Simms (Lindsey Broad) is the young and attractive temporary office worker who was filling in for Pam while she was on her maternity leave. It is later revealed her ethics are questionable. She remained employed at the company for a short period of time after Pam returned. During her time at the office, Cathy maintained a fairly inconspicuous presence, and while the members of the staff who bothered to pay her any heed often maligned or trifled her (Dwight in particular), she was able to find common ground with Jim, with whom she developed a rapport. However, in "Pool Party (The Office), Pool Party", there are subtle implications to suggest that her feelings towards him are more than platonic. Her infatuation with him is ultimately confirmed at the end of "Special Project", when, after being selected to travel for a three-week business trip to Florida with Jim and four others, she privately informs a friend, via her cell phone, of her intentions to seduce Jim, despite his marriage and children. In a deleted scene from the same episode, she also worries about losing her job, now that Pam has returned, and implies that, in the future, she might be desperate enough to consider marrying a man she knows, named Doug, just for the financial stability he could provide. In "After Hours (The Office), After Hours", Cathy puts her plan to seduce Jim into action. She shows up at his hotel room, in rather skimpy leisure wear, claiming that the hotel maintenance crew is working in her room. While Jim initially agrees to her request to stay with him for a while, he becomes increasingly uncomfortable with her presence, especially after she uses his shower and reappears in a short robe. After she shows off her legs to him, Jim finally tells her that he is happily married and not interested in her. In response, Cathy feigns shock and tells him that she had no romantic intentions whatsoever. Embarrassed for apparently having misread the situation, he apologizes and agrees to relax. However, when he returns from the bathroom, and finds her lying under his covers with the robe on the floor, he firmly demands that she leave, despite her protests. Dwight then bursts in with chemicals to spray for bed bugs, and Jim tells him a bug is following Cathy. Dwight proceeds to chase her from the room, while Jim enjoys her distress. In a deleted scene from Test the Store, the next episode, she is upset that Jim is now acting awkwardly around her, though a talking-head interview shows that she is still under the delusion that she has a chance at a romantic relationship with him. In a subsequent interview with the object of her affection, Jim tells the camera crew that he thinks she is "crazy". However, in "Last Day in Florida", it appears that she may no longer care for Jim, as she laughs along with Dwight when Dwight repeatedly insults him (although, it is also possible that she was only doing this because Dwight was vice president to Nellie Bertram at the time). She is not shown returning from Florida with her co-workers, and in the next episode, her desk appears to be cleaned out. On March 19, 2012, Broad confirmed that Cathy would not be returning, stating, via a Twitter message, that "Cathy has finished [temping] at Dunder Mifflin".Hunter
Hunter (Nicholas D'Agosto) was Jan's assistant. He first appeared in the episode "The Negotiation (The Office), The Negotiation", during which he causes Michael to feel threatened by his youthful good looks. In "Women's Appreciation", Hunter listened in on a sensitive phone conversation between Michael and Jan, and Jan tells Michael to tell Hunter if he is visiting her that night, so he can purchase more vodka. He makes another appearance in "The Job (The Office), The Job", in which he is made uncomfortable by Michael, when he asks him to tell Jan that "[He] want[s] to squeeze breast implants, them". After receiving her termination, Jan wishes Hunter luck with his band, and tells him, "Don't let them change you". In "Dinner Party (The Office), Dinner Party", it is revealed that Ryan fired Hunter not long afterwards (perhaps for his complicity in Jan's negligence of her job); however, Hunter has since released a CD with his band, ''The Hunted'', implying he may have taken up a career as a musician. The lyrics to one of the songs, entitled "That One Night", as well as Jan's behavior when she listens to it, seems to imply Hunter may have had sex with Jan, and quite possibly lost his virginity to her. On Jan's website, "serenitybyjancandles.com", she lists one candle as "Hunter Green", and writes, "This youthful, firm scent will leave your mouth watering. While designing this candle I felt like a college girl again. Just as Eve was tempted by a decadent apple, you'll be tempted by the most erotic scent of my collection, 'Hunter Green'", further implying a sexual relationship between them. In the Season 9 episode "''The Whale (The Office), The Whale''", we learn that Hunter was 17 when he worked for Jan.Rolando
Rolando (Adam Jamal Craig) is the receptionist at the Dunder Mifflin, Utica branch. He first appears in "Branch Wars", and reappears in "Lecture Circuit", in which he greets Michael and Pam when they arrive at the Utica branch, and also scoffs at Michael's suggestion that the two receptionists go on a "friend date".Stephanie
Stephanie (Laurel Coppock) is a friendly receptionist at Sabre Headquarters, who appears in the eighth-season episode, "Jordan Garfield
Jordan Garfield (Cody Horn) was the new executive assistant hired by Deangelo Vickers in " The Inner Circle", mainly to prove to the staff that he was not sexist. She had no business background and little experience, leaving her co-workers to assume Deangelo hired her because of her model-level looks. In "Dwight K. Schrute, (Acting) Manager", Dwight informed her that her co-workers think of her as a joke because she was only hired due to her looks; she appeared irritated but not particularly surprised. In a deleted scene, her behavior when she talks to the camera crew about Jim implies that she was developing a crush on him. Jordan is not seen in the eighth season, with no explanation of what became of her. Paul Lieberstein later confirmed that she would not return to the show, but did not explain why.Ronni
Ronni (Dale Raoul) was Pam's temporary replacement as receptionist, hired when Pam went to art school in New York City in the episode "Weight Loss (The Office), Weight Loss". During her short time at the office, Ronni quickly grew unpopular; Michael was openly unappreciative of her and, during an office party, her question "does anyone want to dance?" was met with unanimous disgust. Michael later fired her and replaced her with Ryan, partly because Michael had felt she was "boring". She later makes a cameo in the episode "Shareholder Meeting", in a flashback.Warehouse employees
Lonny Collins
Lonnis "Lonny" Collins (Patrice O'Neal) is a dock worker. Lonny joins his friend Darryl in open displays of irritation by and intimidation toward Michael. He became a vocal supporter of Darryl in trying to establish a union, citing the low pay they receive in comparison to the office employees. He is best known for yelling at Michael after Michael trashed the entire warehouse. He also insulted Michael in front of the staff during Darryl's safety training seminar, after Michael frequently interrupted the presentation with his obnoxiousness, and made fun of Michael anew during the office staff's own workplace safety lecture. Kelly insults him, referring to him as "Sea Monster" because he is overweight.Madge Madsen
Madge Madsen (Karly Rothenberg) is a dock worker. Madge is a warehouse employee who played against the office team during the "Basketball (The Office), Basketball" game (which led to Michael's crude reference to her as "the East Germany#Sport, East German gal"). When Michael led the male office workers into the warehouse for some "guy time", Madge excused herself from the proceedings. Initially Michael did not understand why she was leaving, indicating that he had not realized that she was a woman. Michael mistook her name by calling her "Pudge" and later "Padge", not knowing her real name. Michael and Dwight stole her uniform when heading out to prank the Utica branch during "Branch Wars", and Jim ended up wearing it during the whole fiasco. Madge makes a brief appearance in "Heavy Competition" when Dwight mistakes her for Michael as she walked by him. In "Secret Santa (The Office), Secret Santa", it is revealed that the warehouse employees refer to her as "Garfield" for her affection for lasagna. In "Costume Contest", after the warehouse workers are allowed to make sales, it is said that Madge had made her first sale. When she and the rest of the warehouse employees win nearly a million dollars in a winning lottery ticket during "Glenn
Glenn (Calvin Tenner) is a dock worker. He first appears in "Sexual Harassment (The Office), Sexual Harassment", where he watches a sexual harassment video sent from corporate, and reappears in "Boys and Girls (The Office), Boys and Girls", when Michael holds a seminar in the Warehouse for all the male staff members. In "Grief Counseling (The Office), Grief Counseling", after Michael holds a funeral for a deceased bird (which, in truth, represents his grief for the recent passing of his former boss, Ed Truck), and the bird's makeshift "coffin" is let afire, Dwight orders Glenn and Phillip to clean up the burned ashes. In the Fun Run, fourth-season premiere, he participates in Michael's Fun Run for Rabies, and appears to have been the second person to cross the finish line. In "Weight Loss (The Office), Weight Loss'','' Andy Bernard spits on his shoe before a weigh-in. In "Secret Santa (The Office), Secret Santa", he attends the office Christmas party, and in "St. Patrick's Day (The Office), St. Patrick's Day", he tells Darryl to go back to his office in the Warehouse. In "The Cover-Up (The Office), The Cover Up", he is seen talking to Darryl in his office, where Darryl tells him "Look, I'm not down there anymore, so if the guys start making fun of you, you gotta' start standing up for yourself". In "Jerry DiCanio
Jerry DiCanio (Matt DeCaro) is an older dock worker. In the episode "Basketball (The Office), Basketball", Michael, knowing that his team is winning, claims that Jerry's inadvertent elbow hit to Michael's face is an intentional foul. Michael then declares that their "friendly" game has led to violence, and abruptly ends the game, declaring his team the winner. Nearly a decade later, in the ninth-season episode "Work Bus", it is mentioned that Jerry has died.Phillip
Phillip (Phillip Pickard) is another older dock worker. He first appears in "Basketball (The Office), Basketball", and is later seen in "The Alliance (The Office), The Alliance".

Matt (Sam Daly) works at the Dunder Mifflin warehouse. It is presumed that he started work there shortly before December 2009. It is revealed in "Secret Santa (The Office), Secret Santa" that Oscar secretly has a crush on him, and that Matt is also homosexual, gay. Pam spends the whole Christmas party trying to get Oscar and Matt to bond. In the episode "Happy Hour (The Office), Happy Hour", Oscar invites the warehouse crew and the office to drinks in an effort to hang out with Matt. The only real interaction between the two is when Matt invites Oscar to play basketball with him which Oscar gladly accepts despite the fact that he is terrible at basketball, confirming Darryl's accurate impression that Matt has nothing in common with Oscar. After that point, Matt does not appear in the show anymore.Hidetoshi Hasagawa
Hidetoshi "Hide" Hasagawa (Hidetoshi Imura) is a Japanese warehouse dock worker. He is first seen in the first-season episode "Basketball (The Office), Basketball", and is subsequently introduced to the camera crew by Darryl in the sixth-season episode "Happy Hour (The Office), Happy Hour". Hide claims that he was once a heart surgeon in Japan, and he boasts that he was "the best" due to his steady hands. He performed surgery for a yakuza boss, who needed a new heart. However, the Yakuza boss died during the operation. Hide fled from the Yakuza, hid in a fishing boat, and escaped to America, where Darryl hired him and "save[d his] life". Hide later reveals that he killed the yakuza boss on purpose. In "Body Language (The Office), Body Language", with Dwight's help, he applies for Sabre's Ethnic group, minority executive training program, but he loses the position to Kelly. In "Gary Trundell

Nate N. Nickersonthe-office/photos/12588#item=276290/ref/ (Mark Proksch) is a dimwitted, but well-meaning, warehouse worker, who used to be Dwight's handyman. He is introduced in the opening to the season 7 episode "Sex Ed (The Office), Sex Ed", when Dwight hires him from a group of undocumented immigrant day laborers and has him remove a hornet's nest from the Dunder Mifflin parking lot (which he attempts to do using a blowtorch and then a baseball bat, leading to him getting severely stung). Nate responds to Dwight in very broken Spanish when the two first meet, though later on, he seems to have become more fluent when he translates for Dwight in "Jury Duty (The Office), Jury Duty". In "WUPHF.com", he helps Dwight run the Hay Place attraction in the parking lot. In "China (The Office), China", he helps Dwight turn the office toilet paper to half-ply as a cost-cutting measure, and goes with him to check out the "new building" that Pam claims to have found. In the opening of " Classy Christmas", he takes the staff Christmas photo. Nate re-appears in the season 8 episode "Gideon
Gideon (Michael Daniel Cassady) is a part-time dock worker. He first appears in "Bruce
Bruce (Mike Winfield) is highly flamboyant dock worker. He first appears in "Frank
Frank (Brad William Henke) is a truculent and unruly warehouse worker, who defaces Pam's mural by painting lewd pictures on it, in the episode "Vandalism (The Office), Vandalism". Pam initially tries to be civil and talk things out with him, along with Toby and Nellie, but Frank is very disrespectful towards them and does not apologize for what he did, as they have no authority over him. Pam and Dwight then take revenge by painting childish pictures on his beloved truck (albeit with washable paint). Frank, incensed by the payback, later confronts Pam in the parking lot, where he shows signs that he is going to physically assault her. Before he has the chance, however, Brian, the documentary crew's boom mic operator, breaks protocol and intervenes by hitting the warehouse employee across the face with his mic. The two end up in a scuffle, but Frank is restrained by two other documentarians. In the end, the audience learns that both Frank and Brian have been terminated from Dunder Mifflin and the documentary, respectively.Other employees
Louanne Kelley
Louanne Kelley worked in the Annex along with Toby and Kelly. She had the desk near the kitchen door which faces toward Toby's desk. She had no lines and is seen only in passing in the first three seasons. In Season 1, her hair is red, but by Season 2, she is seen with gray hair. She does not participate in meetings or almost any other event. She was never seen again after the season 3 episode "Back from Vacation", but her desk and other belongings are apparently still in use.Devon White
Devon White (Devon Abner) is an office worker in Supplier Relations. He is an office employee who sits across from Creed (who is directly responsible for getting Devon fired, to save his own job). Devon (dressed as a hobo) is reluctantly laid off by Michael on "Halloween (The Office), Halloween", and takes it badly, smashing a pumpkin on Michael's car in retaliation. The episode marks his only dialogue in front of the camera. When Michael later receives a $3,000 Christmas bonus in "Christmas Party (The Office), Christmas Party" because Dunder Mifflin saved money through downsizing, he considers calling Devon to thank him, saying "some good came of it". Devon is also warned by Dwight in "The Dundies" to keep his speech short. A deleted scene from "Diversity Day (The Office), Diversity Day" shows Devon with a "West Nile" sign on his forehead, as he escapes the seminar for a smoke. A deleted scene from "Valentine's Day (The Office), Valentine's Day" shows Michael walking down the street in New York City, when a seemingly homeless pedestrian seems to recognize him and then chases him down the street. In the following scene, Michael reveals that it was Devon chasing him, and cluelessly reflects that it was nice to see Devon again and get closure on their whole story. In the series finale, it is revealed that Devon has been rehired by Dwight because Dwight always thought he was a good worker, ironically to replace Creed.Kendall
Kendall (John Hartmann) is the Human Resources representative for corporate. He was mentioned in the episode "The Job (The Office), The Job", during Jim's interview, by David Wallace, who called him an "irritating HR guy", and informed Jim that Kendall will probably be the only person that Jim will not like, mirroring Michael's dislike of Toby. In "Business Ethics (The Office), Business Ethics", when Holly learns that Meredith is trading sexual favors for supply discounts, Kendall not only is not upset by the news, but believes that Meredith is doing the company a good turn, and angrily tells Holly that she has failed to just get the review forms signed, and tells her that if she cannot do that, then they will need another discussion. Given Kendall's authority over Holly, it is reasonable to assume that he is not merely the HR representative for the corporate office but a more senior HR representative, possibly the department head. Kendall makes his first on-screen appearance in "Stress Relief (The Office), Stress Relief", and appears again in "Company Picnic", in which he and Toby talk about past Human Resources stories, showing a similar personality to Toby. Since he was the corporate HR representative, it is presumed that he lost his job or was transferred out of New York to a new Sabre branch that needed its own HR person on hand.Sadiq
Sadiq (Omi Vaidya) does tech support. First appearing in "E-mail Surveillance", he is sent by management to teach Michael how to monitor office email. Sadiq attends Jim's barbecue (to the consternation of Michael, who wasn't invited and still doesn't appear to trust Sadiq's motives). In "Fun Run", Sadiq cleans a computer virus from Pam Beesly, Pam's computer. He is a Sikh but resents being only classified by his religion, telling a meeting during "Fun Run" that he likes listening to Hip hop music, hip hop and National Public Radio, and is restoring a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette C3, Corvette. When the company is acquired by Sabre, Sadiq presumably loses his job, as a new IT Technician, Nick, takes his place. Dwight tells Sadiq's angrily departing successor Nick that they liked Sadiq for two reasons: he kept to himself, and they were afraid to cross him because they thought he might actually be a terrorist.Nick
Nick (Nelson Franklin) was the information technology, IT administrator brought in by Sabre corporate (however, Franklin made a previous cameo in "Job Fair (The Office), Job Fair" as "Graphic Design Guy".). Reserved but amiable, he is regarded as a "nerd" by Michael, and the rest of the staff often treated him badly, often forgetting his name, and even his occupation within the office. He ultimately quits his job in the Whistleblower (The Office), sixth-season finale, in order to join Teach for America in Detroit, but, after the employees once again misremember who he is, and Dwight insults him, he tells off the entire staff for their poor treatment of him and for not even having the common courtesy to just take the time to remember his name. He vengefully reveals a number of personal secrets that various office members have kept hidden on their computers, and gives everyone "the finger (gesture), finger" as he leaves. Nick is later mentioned, along with all the other former IT administrators, in "WUPHF.com", but is only referred to as "glasses", showing that, even after his ireful final encounter with them, the Scranton branch employees are still unable to recall his name. The reason behind Nick's departure was due to Franklin leaving the show in order to star on the short-lived television series ''Traffic Light (TV series), Traffic Light'', which also starred ''Office'' veteranTony Gardner
Tony Gardner (Mike Bruner) was a morbidly obese bespectacled employee at the Stamford branch, and is one of the six employees that were transferred to Scranton during "The Merger (The Office), The Merger". Tony also has a tendency to whine, as shown in his first appearance in the "Diwali (The Office), Diwali" episode, when his chips get stuck in a vending machine, and he asks Karen to use her "skinny little arms" to help him get them out. Before even meeting Tony, Dwight tries to persuade Michael to fire him on his first day in order to scare the new employees straight. On Tony's first day, he can hardly take Michael's antics, but he hits his breaking point when Michael and Dwight tried to lift his large person onto a table for an orientation demonstration (Michael refers to his leg as a "hock"). Humiliated and angry, Tony quits, admitting that he was not completely sure about transferring to begin with, but mostly blaming Michael's management style. Michael is so angry that he overrides Tony's resignation and officially fires him, which in turn angers Jan because the firing means Dunder-Mifflin now has to pay Tony a large severance. Later, in "Lecture Circuit" Michael regrets firing him and briefly considers finding him and getting closure, but reconsiders because he is "too fat", calling him "Pepperoni Tony" as Pam looks at him with undisguised disgust. Tony has a cameo appearance in Michael's film ''Threat Level Midnight'' (in the episode "Threat Level Midnight") as a pianist. In an Officetally.com Question and Answer discussion, show co-star and executive producer B. J. Novak implied that Michael did end up apologizing to Tony, by offering him a role in the movie.Martin Nash
Martin Nash (Wayne Wilderson) was the Supplier Relations representative at the Stamford branch, and one of the six employees transferred to Scranton in "The Merger (The Office), The Merger". According to a deleted scene from "The Merger (The Office), The Merger", Martin is 37 years old. Before working at Dunder Mifflin, he served time in prison after getting busted for insider trading (which Kevin says is strangely similar to what he does). However, since he was put in a minimum-security facility, Martin claims his time in prison was just really boring. When he was released, he was hired by Josh through a federal reformed convict employment program, which allows Dunder Mifflin to receive rebate checks. Michael made a bad first impression on Martin, when he told the African-American employee, "I will show you where all the slaves work". He attempted to befriend Stanley, but failed. In "The Convict", when Martin's past is revealed to the office, Michael overly stresses his trust in Martin to everyone, worried that people would see him as a racist for looking at him as an ex-convict. However, since Martin's tales from prison were generally positive, everyone actually envies his experience compared to their jobs, frustrating Michael. Martin is the second employee from the Stamford branch to leave because of Michael's management style, particularly after Michael makes his prison sentence the focal point of one of his seminars.Hannah Smoterich-Barr
Hannah Smoterich-Barr (Ursula Burton) was an Accountant at the Stamford branch, and was one of the six employees transferred to Scranton. In "The Merger (The Office), The Merger", Hannah had unpleasant encounters with Ryan (who found it impossible to concentrate while she was using a breast milk pump) and Creed (who photographed her left breast and made it his computer's desktop wallpaper; Michael at first thinks it's a squid eye, and when he asks how Creed was able to photograph her breast, he replies, "Right place at the right time.") In "The Convict", she dresses her infant son in pink, claiming it's his "favorite color", and is offended when anyone assumes the child is female. In "A Benihana Christmas", Hannah is one of the only employees to attend Angela's Christmas party. Hannah quits her job while Michael is on vacation at Sandals in Jamaica, after complaining of the hostile environment and claiming harassment, making her the third transferred employee from the Stamford branch to quit at Scranton. The character is very similar to Anne from the British series; both are women who have traditionally been presented as likeable and friendly on TV shows (Hannah being a new mom, Anne being pregnant), but Hannah and Anne come across as snippy and unlikeable. They also only appeared in a few episodes each, with Anne being told off for her nasty attitude, and Hannah quitting under hostile circumstances.Scranton Regional Manager applicants
In the season 7 finale "Search Committee: Part 2", Jim, Toby and Gabe interview several applicants for the position that had been held by Michael Scott (and briefly filled by Deangelo Vickers). The applicants included Andy, Dwight, Kelly, and Darryl; Nellie Bertram, who was not hired but was later placed in a different position at Sabre;Family, friends, and loved ones
Michael's loved ones/family
* Carol Stills (portrayed by Nancy Carell, Steve Carell's wife) is Michael's real estate agent. She has two children. Michael entertained her kids at an ice-skating rink and she was Michael's date to the casino night. In a deleted scene, it is revealed that after "Jim's family/loved ones
* Gerald (Robert Pine) and Betsy Halpert (Perry Smith) are Jim's parents. In "Frame Toby", Jim purchases their house, where he grew up, for him and Pam to live in. They first appear on-screen in "Niagara (The Office), Niagara", where they attend their son's wedding to Pam. During the ceremony, Gerald can be seen wearing a kilt. * Thomas (Blake Robbins) and Peter Halpert (Tug Coker) are Jim's obnoxious older brothers who, like him, possess a great love for practical jokes. They first appear in "Employee Transfer", in which they have lunch with their brother and his fiancée. However, unbeknownst to Jim, Pam met with them before lunch to clue them in on a prank she would be playing on him, but Tom and Pete instead decided to make fun of her interest in art, as opposed to Pam's idea of losing her engagement ring. During lunch, they make numerous insults towards her art career, causing Jim to come to her defense. After the argument escalates, Tom and Pete reveal it to be a prank, with Pam awkwardly confirming this. Afterward, Jim receives a text message from them welcoming Pam into the family, and Pam suggests they should "prank" Tom about being bald over Thanksgiving. They later reappear in "Niagara (The Office), Niagara", attending Jim and Pam's wedding, for which they (along with Michael and Dwight) organize to have everyone dance down the aisle in the style of the viral video, JK Wedding Entrance Dance. * Katy Moore (Amy Adams) is a handbag saleswoman, who stops by the office in The Office (American season 1), the season 1 finale, "Hot Girl (The Office), Hot Girl". Upon seeing her, both Michael and Dwight are instantly attracted to her, with Michael commenting that she is like the "Pam 6.0", and Dwight considering her to be the ideal woman. Michael and Dwight each make a move on her; Michael flirts with her aggressively, and Dwight shows interest in purchasing a handbag. However, she ignores their advances, and begins dating Jim, a relationship that only lasted for a few months. After Pam and Roy decide to set a date for their wedding, a devastated Jim breaks up with Katy in "Booze Cruise (The Office), Booze Cruise", when he ungraciously admits that the two will never be as deeply in love with each other as Roy and Pam seem to be when seeing them together. Along with Toby, Katy is a graduate of Bishop O'Hara High School, where she was a cheerleader. She bonds with Roy on the Booze Cruise, when they realize that they went to rival high schools, and she cheered at games against the American football, football team Roy played on. According to an OfficeTally.com Question and Answer discussion with B. J. Novak, he originally wrote for her to appear in Michael's film, ''Threat Level Midnight'', as a "floozy" that Michael's character, Michael Scarn, would have unsatisfying sex with and reflect on how much he missed his late, sexually voracious wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Catherine Zeta-Jones Scarn. Katy would have then appeared in a subsequent talking-head interview, where she would have expressed embarrassment over the role, but also talk about how she had been interested in pursuing an acting career at the time. The character's reappearance was prevented by Adams' lack of availability.Pam's family/friends
* Helene Beesly (Shannon Cochran in Season 2, Linda Purl in Seasons 6, 7 and 9) is Pam's mother. Pam gets excited when Helene comes to visit her at work in "Sexual Harassment (The Office), Sexual Harassment". Helene appears to get along with Roy very well, but is eager to meet Jim after Pam talked about him in private. In "Stress Relief (The Office), Stress Relief", it is revealed Helene and Pam's father William are going through a rough patch in their marriage and it eventually ends in divorce after Jim confesses to William his deep and abiding love for Pam, a feeling that William never felt with Helene. In "Niagara (The Office), Niagara", Helene comes to the wedding and is disturbed when William comes with a new girlfriend who is half his age. Helene takes pity on Michael when he talks about his past relationships and invites him into her room after the wedding. In "The Lover (The Office), The Lover", Michael confirms to Jim and Pam that he is dating Helene, much to Pam's horror and anger. Pam maintains a hostile attitude toward their relationship until they go out to lunch for Helene's birthday in "Double Date (The Office), Double Date", where she sees that Helene is happy with Michael. However, when Michael learns that Helene is turning 58 and has already done many things Michael hasn't done yet, he breaks up with her in front of Jim and Pam. In "The Delivery (The Office), The Delivery", Helene comes to visit Pam at the hospital after she gives birth and has an awkward moment with Michael. :Michael later visits her at a playground in "Sex Ed (The Office), Sex Ed", where he attempts to discuss their past relationship and see if what they had was genuine. She bitterly points out his skewed sense of memory, to which Michael responds by insulting her and then walking off. Helene appears in three more episodes after that: in "Christening (The Office), Christening, where she is seen in the background attending CeCe's christening; in "The Search (The Office), The Search", with a voice-only part where she calls Jim on his cell phone to tell him that she unintentionally locked CeCe in her car (with the keys inside it); and in "Threat Level Midnight", where she is briefly seen in Michael's titular homemade film as a slutty nurse (to Pam's obvious discomfort). Helene now spends her days watching Jim and Pam's children while the two are at work. In "Lice (The Office), Lice" she inadvertently revealed that Pam, not Meredith (as everyone assumed), was responsible for spreading lice to the office after calling Pam at work to inform her that Cece's school had discovered she had lice. : Shannon Cochran portrayed Helene in "Sexual Harassment (The Office), Sexual Harassment", but she was unavailable to return in Season 6 because she was committed to a 12-month stage production tour of ''August: Osage County'', so she was replaced by Linda Purl. * William Beesly (Rick Overton) is Pam's father. He first appears in "Stress Relief (The Office), Stress Relief", where he stays at Pam and Jim's house after an argument with Helene. After a conversation with Jim, William decides to separate from Helene; he later reveals he was motivated by realizing he had never loved her as much as Jim loves Pam. He reappears in "Niagara (The Office), Niagara", attending Jim and Pam's wedding, where he is accompanied by his considerably younger new girlfriend, whom Jim mistakes for his niece. * Penny Beesly (Anna Camp) is Pam's sister. She appears in "Niagara (The Office), Niagara", where she is the maid of honor at Pam and Jim's wedding. When Pam introduces her to Oscar and Kevin, she manages to unintentionally offend the former when she mistakes the latter for his ex, Gil. When the ceremony is interrupted by the JK Wedding Entrance Dance recreation, she is apologetic to Pam for allowing it to happen, but Pam encourages her sister to dance down the aisle along with everyone else. :Camp would later go on to star with Mindy Kaling in her show ''The Mindy Project''. * Sylvia (Peggy Stewart (actress), Peggy Stewart), known as "Meemaw" to her family, is Pam's conservative grandmother, whom Pam describes as the only elderly woman at her wedding "with no smile wrinkles". She first appears in "Niagara (The Office), Niagara", where she travels to Niagara Falls for Jim and Pam's wedding. But, after Jim inadvertently reveals that Pam is pregnant, she refuses to attend, until Michael is able to convince her to do so by falsely telling her that Jim and Pam will name their baby after her (or "Sylvio", if it is a boy). She reappears in "Christening (The Office), Christening", where she attends CeCe's Infant baptism, christening. * Alex (Rich Sommer) is a student at the Pratt Institute in New York City who quickly befriends Pam during her summer internship. The two share a couple of jokes about two of the professors in "Weight Loss (The Office), Weight Loss". He makes another appearance in "Customer Survey (The Office), Customer Survey", where he tries to convince Pam to not return to Scranton, but instead stay in New York to pursue her career in art. It is indicated that he is attracted to Pam, and that he views Jim the same way Jim viewed Roy. In an interview with ''USA Today'', Sommer revealed that his character was originally intended to be a potential roadblock for Jim and Pam's relationship, but fan reaction to this storyline was so overwhelmingly negative, that the writers abandoned the idea. * Isabel Poreba (Kelen Coleman) is a dental hygienist who attends Jim and Pam's wedding as a bridesmaid, where she has sex with Dwight. The night before the wedding, she takes a liking to Dwight when he talks about his farm and the two end up having a one-night stand. She develops a crush on Dwight, which shocks Pam. However, Dwight blows her off on the day of the wedding when she tries to talk to him. In "The Delivery (The Office), The Delivery", Isabel visits Pam and Jim in the hospital after Pam gives birth, where they find that Pam had breastfed the wrong baby. Isabel leaves to drop some food at Jim and Pam's house where Dwight is fixing their kitchen. Dwight is surprised and asks if he could come in for a cleaning. In "Happy Hour (The Office), Happy Hour", she and Dwight start to get to know each other better as the two share similar interests (Isabel's older brothers are police officers or are serving in the United States Marine Corps, USMC). Dwight decides Isabel would be better suited to have his children than Angela, with whom he had entered into a contract to have a child. When Dwight calls off the contract, Angela confronts Dwight and Isabel in the parking lot. Isabel smacks Angela on the head and scares her off. Dwight calls her an "impressive specimen" and passionately kisses her. It is presumed their relationship did not last as she has not been seen or mentioned since then.Jim and Pam's children
* Cecelia Marie "CeCe" Halpert (portrayed by Mia Cavolic and twins Baily and Sienna Strull) is Jim and Pam's daughter, in real life named after Jenna Fischer's niece. Pam's pregnancy is discovered in the fifth-season finale "Company Picnic", and she gives birth to CeCe in the sixth-season episode, "The Delivery (The Office), The Delivery", on March 4, 2010, after 19 hours of labor. Jim jokingly states that CeCe was conceived in a porta-potty at Burning Man. CeCe makes appearances in several episodes throughout the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth seasons. * Philip Halpert is Pam and Jim's infant son, named after Pam's grandfather (to Angela's rage, as she wanted Pam to give up the name so she could have it for herself in tribute to her favorite cat). In The List (The Office), the eighth-season premiere, Pam is approximately eight months pregnant, and she and Jim reveal to the camera crew that they are expecting a boy. Unlike with his older sister, there was no episode focusing on Philip's birth; it was instead announced on a blog.Dwight's family/friends/loved ones
* Mose Schrute (portrayed by writer Michael Schur) is Dwight's cousin, who lives with Dwight at the Schrute family beet farm. In "The Injury", Michael refers to Mose as Dwight's "weirdo cousin" who is "27 years old [and has] never left the beet farm." Mose wears an Amish-esque beard and clothing, and speaks and behaves in a very naive and childlike manner, at times even appearing mentally unstable and very socially awkward. The source of his mental imbalance was somewhat explained in the episode "St. Patrick's Day (The Office), St. Patrick's Day", when Dwight explains to the camera crew, "I didn't see my father for the first two years of my life. I thought my mother was my father, and my wet nurse was my mother... Turned out fine for me. But Mose, same story... ''different'' ending". In "Money (The Office), Money", Dwight informs Jim that Mose has had nightmares ever since "the storm". In the same episode, Mose is also shown, in the background, throwing manure at Dwight in the beet fields. Like Dwight, Mose is a skilled table tennis player, as seen at the end of "The Deposition (The Office), The Deposition". In "Did I Stutter?", Dwight's organizational chart shows Mose (who is not even employed at the office) is in charge of Heindl, Shirley, Vater, and Mutter. "Vater" and "Mutter" are German for "father" and "mother", and Heindl and Shirley are Dwight's uncle and aunt. In "Jury Duty (The Office), Jury Duty", Dwight says that Mose has never been taught what sex is. In "Tallahassee (The Office), Tallahassee", Dwight records a message for his presumed son, Phillip Lipton, and states that, if he dies, Phillip is the rightful inheritor of Schrute Farms, but warns him to kill Mose, before Mose can kill him. :Mose first appears in "Initiation (The Office), Initiation", in which he takes part in Dwight's misguided attempts to haze Ryan at Schrute Farms. After Ryan storms off, Dwight attempts to present him with a whittling that Mose made, which is in the shape of the Venus of Willendorf. He later appears in "Money (The Office), Money", and in the fourth season finale, "Goodbye, Toby", in which he assists Dwight with placing a raccoon in Holly Flax's car. He also appears in "The Surplus", and in the cold open of "Koi Pond (The Office), Koi Pond". In "Counseling (The Office), Counseling", he is seen painting the Daycare Center Dwight is planning to open in the building. He also appears in the eighth season episode "Garden Party (The Office), Garden Party", where, in the role as valet, he forcibly takes Toby's keys and parks the car in a field; he is later shown attempting to jump over a row of cars on a motorbike, in the style of Evel Knievel. In the season 8 finale, " Free Family Portrait Studio", he is used as a distraction to get Angela off of Dwight's tail on his way to the hospital to get the DNA testing of her son's feces, in an attempt to prove that he is indeed the father. In the episode "Junior Salesman", Mose is a candidate for the eponymous position, but flees from the building during his interview when Dwight points out a lie on his resumé that Mose used to work at the Dow Chemical Company. In a prior talking-head interview, Dwight talked about how he believed Mose would be a good fit for the job, as he has papyrophobia (fear of paper), which would motivate him to sell as much paper as he could in order to get rid of it. A comment from Dwight's aunt, Shirley, in " Moving On", implies that, at one point, he had a sexual relationship with a "lady scarecrow". *Fannie Schrute (Majandra Delfino) is Dwight's younger sister, who appeared in the ninth-season episode "The Farm (The Office), The Farm". Described as an attractive and urban, if somewhat pseudo-intellectual, liberal woman with an ironic sense of humor but a great heart, Fannie left Schrute Farms in favor of a city life in Boston. She is now divorced, and appears to have full custody of her young son, Cameron, as he stated to Dwight that he has never met his father. While she is the only one of her siblings who is fully opposed to running her aunt Shirley's estate (as Jeb flip-flops between wanting to and not), after she sees that Dwight and Cameron have bonded, she agrees to return to home to run the property with her siblings, though both she and Jeb let Dwight take on the responsibility of managing it. *Jeb Schrute (Thomas Middleditch) is Dwight's ne'er-do-well younger brother. After leaving the United States army, army, he traveled to northern California, where he purchased a 9-acre Marijuana, pot farm (albeit unknowingly). After the death of his aunt Shirley, he moves back home to Pennsylvania with his siblings in order to care for her estate. Jeb is first mentioned by his brother in "Dwight Christmas", and appears alongside him via a family photograph from 1982. He made his first live appearance in "The Farm (The Office), The Farm". *Cameron Whitman (Blake Garrett Rosenthal) is Fannie's son and Dwight's nerdy and slightly weird 9-year-old nephew. While at first, Dwight is more or less disgusted with him and his city slicker ways, the two later bond when he teaches him how to milk a goat. He appeared in the episode "The Farm (The Office), The Farm". * Zeke Schrute (Matt L. Jones, Matt Jones) is Dwight's cousin and Mose's brother, and the self-appointed comedian of the family (since Dwight was the "cool kid" growing up and Mose was "the visionary"). He first appears in the episode "Junior Salesman", interviewing to be Jim's part-time replacement, and reappears in "The Farm (The Office), The Farm". *Shirley (Mary Gillis) was Mose's and Zeke's mother and Dwight's aunt, whom he considered to be the closest thing he had to a mom (as his own was very cold and distant, and, ironically, he considered her to be the closest thing he had to an aunt). She makes her first appearance in " Moving On", in which Dwight acquires the help of Angela in order to bathe her. Initially, he wants to merely take his aunt out and spray her with a hose, but Angela talks him into letting her do it in a more dignified manner, and through the process, the two begin to remember their feelings for each other, something that they do not realize they are experiencing mutually until Shirley playfully comments on the chemistry between them. In The Farm (The Office), the subsequent episode, Dwight announces that she has passed on, and, later on, at the funeral, Dwight and his siblings receive a shock when they learn that she willed her estate to them. Their inheritance was to serve as the catalyst for Dwight leaving Dunder Mifflin, in order for Wilson to star in his own spin-off about the character running the farm. Upon review of the episode, however, NBC decided not to pick it up. *Heinrich Manheim (Tom Bower (actor), Tom Bower) is the Schrute siblings' manipulative, avaricious, malevolent, unhinged and very likely Nazi war criminal great uncle, who was to be a major character in Dwight's spin-off "The Farm (The Office), The Farm". His part was cut from the NBC broadcast of the episode, but he appears in a deleted scene, threatening to kill Dwight unless he relinquishes his inheritance to him, which Dwight fails to take seriously. *Henry Bruegger (Allan Havey) is a somewhat stoic neighboring Brussels sprout farmer, who appears in "The Farm (The Office), The Farm", briefly pulling up in his truck to pay his respects at Shirley's funeral. He reappears in Promos (The Office), the subsequent episode, in which he tries to rope Dwight into co-leasing a tractor with him. *Esther Bruegger (Nora Kirkpatrick) is one of Henry's five daughters, who appears in "The Farm (The Office), The Farm". She and Dwight are shown flirting at Shirley's funeral, and later in the episode, when everyone is outside on the porch, playing The Decemberists' ''The Crane Wife, Sons and Daughters'', Dwight drops a pair of crows' beaks at the feet of Esther – signaling his desire to court her. Following tradition, Esther reciprocates by crushing the beaks with her boot. She reappears in "Promos (The Office), Promos", visiting Dwight at the office with her sisters and father, the latter of whom tries to get Dwight to co-lease a tractor with him. However, she later explains to Dwight that her father really is trying to take advantage of him, and suggests a better deal he should make, affirming that her feelings for him are genuine and that she was not using him, as Clark had believed and warned the fellow Salesman. * Rolf Ahl (James Urbaniak) is introduced in the season 5 finale "Company Picnic" as Dwight's new best friend. Dwight claims to have met him in a shoe store after having heard him "asking for a shoe that could increase his speed and not leave any tracks". Rolf and Dwight appear to share very similar personalities and interests. However, Rolf is much more outspoken than Dwight and at one point during the volleyball game has to be quieted by Dwight after telling David Wallace and Charles Miner from corporate that "You suckers are goin down! They're gonna wipe their asses with your serves! Piss all over your faces!". Dwight is also not happy when Rolf insults Angela for the second time during the volleyball game, by calling her a whore, and he is told by Dwight to "knock it off", a demand to which he (grudgingly) assents. Rolf is also seen again in the episode "The Delivery (The Office), The Delivery", where he helps Dwight remodel Jim and Pam's kitchen. Three seasons later, in "Junior Salesman", he interviews for the titular position. Dwight initially believes he would be perfect for the job; however, it soon becomes evident to him that he is not cut out for the paper business. After all of Dwight's applicants leave the office, angry that not one of them were chosen, Rolf warns Dwight not to open any suspicious packages he will be receiving, before backpedaling and telling him to go right ahead, unconvincingly claiming that they are "totally safe". Rolf later appears in the finale at Dwight's bachelor party alongside Mose and Gabor, showing his feud with Dwight was ultimately short-lived. * Trevor Bortmen (Chris Gethard) is a friend of Dwight's. He works as a self-licensed and self-employed Private Investigator, and, like Dwight, is a former volunteer sheriff, having been fired from the force for reasons unknown. He makes his debut in "The Target (The Office), The Target", in which Angela hires him to kill Oscar after she finds out about his affair with her husband. While Trevor concedes that her request is "a little crazy", he agrees to the job. However, after Dwight objects to the murder, he convinces Angela to opt for a kneecapping instead. Trevor later arrives at the office, posing as a sandwich delivery man (with the lead pipe he placed in the sandwich being clearly visible), and pursues both Dwight and Oscar after the former rushes the latter out from the building. He manages to ambush the pair outside, but is hesitant once it is time to actually attack Oscar, giving the Accountant the opportunity to take away his weapon, causing Trevor to flee. He later reappears in "Junior Salesman", as one of Dwight's original applicants for the position of being Jim's part-time replacement; however, during his interview, he immediately effaces any confidence Dwight had in him that he would be suitable for the job. * Melvina Whitaker (Beth Grant) is Dwight's former babysitter. She debuts in "Dinner Party (The Office), Dinner Party", in which she acts like his date in order for the Salesman to attend the couples-only dinner held by Michael and Jan (though he maintains that their relationship is purely carnal). After the tension between the two hosts erupts, she decides she wants to leave, but Dwight refuses to give her a ride home; he later passes her by at a bus stop in a seedy-looking neighborhood while driving Michael to his farm. She reappears years later in the ninth season, applying to be a Junior Salesman at the office, but is ultimately passed on. * Ira Glicksberg (Lance Krall) is Dwight's karate sensei, who referees a sparring match between Dwight and Michael, in season 2's "The Fight (The Office), The Fight". He makes a reappearance in the ninth season, interviewing for the position of a junior Salesman, in the Junior Salesman, episode of the same name. According to his resume released by NBC.com, he was at one point in his life so obese that he worked as a sumo wrestler. *Gabor Csupczyk (Eric Wareheim) is an old friend of Dwight's who was a classmate of his at Chuck Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. According to Dwight, the whole program was actually a con to shanghai the students into doing menial labor, something which Gabor remains oblivious to, believing normal abilities he possesses to be superpowers (e.g. hearing at night and making dogs understand where he points). In his resume, it mentions that he attended Scranton Community College until he was expelled after an accusation that he was using his "psychic powers" to cheat, and that he is the founder (as well as sole member) of The Mutant Fellowship for The Good of All Man Kind. *Wolf von Weyler (Will McCormack) is a mentally disturbed friend of Dwight's, who appears as one of his sponsored applicants in "Junior Salesman". He has some homicidal tendencies; Dwight mentioned that Wolf has executed him during their paintball games at point blank range multiple times, even when they were on the same team.Angela's family
* Robert Lipton (Jack Coleman (actor), Jack Coleman), often referred to as "The Senator" by Angela, is a Republican Party (United States), Republican Pennsylvania Pennsylvania State Senate, state senator who resides inAndy's family/loved ones/friends
* Walter Bernard, Sr. (Stephen Collins) and Ellen Bernard (Dee Wallace) are Andy's affluent, ritzy, fastidious parents, who view Andy as a disappointment, and as such, treat him with disdain. The two debuted in "Goodbye, Toby", where they attended Toby's farewell party, and also witnessed Andy's proposal to Angela (although, in this episode, they are portrayed by different, uncredited actors, and Walter is named "Andrew", just like his eldest son). Several years later, they reappear in the episode "Garden Party (The Office), Garden Party", where they attend Andy's garden party at Schrute Farms, along with Walter, Jr. After Andy becomes frustrated with his father and brother, Walter confronts Andy about his "obnoxious attitude", which he turns into a browbeating, as he tells Andy to stop seeking his approval, because he is not impressed that he is the "manager of some rinky dink branch". During "Angry Andy", Andy calls his father and tells him of Nellie Bertram stealing his job. It is implied that Walter refers to the job as a demotion to Andy, who is visibly defensive. However, shortly after this, Andy has an anger outburst, and picks the phone and finally stands up to his father, yelling "Dad, go to hell, I'm taller than you!" before hanging up on him. In the ninth season, Walter, Sr. bankrupts his family when he takes all of their money and flees to Argentina with his mistress; Andy then springs into action and sells off all of Walter's left-behind assets so that Ellen will have money to live on, and does so with such effectiveness that both Pam and Darryl express surprise at how competent he was at handling this crisis (though he balks for a long time at selling the family's most lucrative remaining asset, a boat, for personal reasons before he finally agrees the sale has to happen). * Walter Bernard, Jr. (Josh Groban) is Andy's successful, talented younger brother, who is the favored child of Walter, Sr. and Ellen. He is first mentioned in "The Delivery (The Office), The Delivery", and later appears in "Garden Party (The Office), Garden Party", where he attends Andy's garden party at Schrute Farms, although his presence quickly makes Andy feel insecure and upstaged. However, he does seem to treat Andy with more respect than their parents do. In "After Hours (The Office), After Hours", Andy mentions that his brother has gotten a boat. He returns in the episode "The Boat (The Office), The Boat", where he has since become an alcoholic after his father took all of the family's money and left them in shambles. Andy discovers him passed out in the liquor closet of the family's boat (as Junior wanted to get the first relapse out of the way before checking into Drug rehabilitation, rehab), and then invites him on his trip to the Caribbean, as a way to sober him up and also spend some quality time with him. * Jessica (Eleanor Seigler) is an assistant cross country coach at Bryn Mawr College, and Andy's ex-girlfriend. She is first mentioned in "Spooked (The Office), Spooked", with Andy confiding in Erin that, while she has never come by the office, as per his request, as he believes it would make Erin uncomfortable, he is now worried that she is not calling him. Andy admits that things are "serious" between them, the two having gone on 31 dates. In "Christmas Wishes (The Office), Christmas Wishes", Andy invites her to the office Christmas party. An emotionally confused Erin tries to be nice to Jessica, but ends up drinking too much at the party. In a drunken stupor, she tells Andy that her Christmas wish is for Jessica to die. Offended, he tells her to get over their breakup before storming off. In "Pool Party (The Office), Pool Party", Andy states in a talking-head interview, that his parents met Jessica, and were extremely impressed with her. So much so, that they gave Andy a Bernard family ring for him to use to propose to her with (although, Ellen took out the main diamond, as she felt it would be better suited for Walter, Jr.). Later, Andy brings Jessica to CEO Robert California's pool party at his mansion. In a deleted scene from that episode, she tells the camera crew that she and her brother were the "chicken fight champions" of their swimming club, and reveals that she grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut. She has a cameo in the episode "Special Project", where she and Andy are seen happily carpooling together, and in "Tallahassee (The Office), Tallahassee", she calls him after quitting time at the office. However, in "Last Day in Florida", upon learning that Erin is not returning to Scranton, Andy realizes that he is, indeed, still in love with Erin, and not with Jessica.

While Irene initially treats Andy with disdain, after Erin informs him that she does not love him and will not be coming with him, Irene privately tells Erin that she is making a mistake, and that she should go with him. Erin is surprised at this, since Irene acted so coldly to him, but she tells Erin that she was merely trying to protect her, and that she now realizes that Andy is a decent guy. :A subtle recurring gag is that, despite her age, Irene has been shown to be fairly intelligent when it comes to electronics, a trait that her grandson, Glenn, also seems to possess. *Glenn (Brad Morris) is Irene's lethargic, middle-aged, unkempt and complaining grandson, who, as of "Get the Girl", is living with Irene, because he has run out of money.

A few episodes later, however, in " Moving On", after Nellie tells Toby to either do something about it or stop talking, he goes to see Skub in prison, and is nearly strangled, finally putting to rest the mystery of whether the right man was convicted.Gordon
Gordon (Andrew Daly) is an impersonator hired by Jim to portray Ben Franklin in Ben Franklin (The Office episode), the eponymous episode. He is introduced by Michael to the female staff, during which he mistakenly remarks that Ben Franklin was a president. Gordon, in character, replies "I never was president", but Michael insists that Ben Franklin was, thinking that Gordon is breaking character. Initially underwhelmed by his presence, the ladies find Gordon quite fun. Jim tries to convince Dwight that Gordon is the real Ben Franklin; to prove Jim wrong, Dwight asks Gordon questions relevant to Franklin’s time, but Gordon answers without hesitation. Gordon breaks character in order to hit on Pam, but Pam is not interested.The documentary film crew
The documentary film crew is a camera crew that has been filming the lives of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch employees since the Pilot (The Office), beginning of the series. Their presence has been met with widely different reactions and levels of comfort from the people they film, although, over the course of the series, the staff has gradually grown to accept the crew's presence as a part of their environment. The crew often intrudes on the personal lives of the office workers, such as filming at social or private events, and have been known to take rather extreme measures in order to capture footage, sometimes secretly filming the employees, even if they tell the crew that they do not want to be on camera. While they mainly observe the action around them, the camera operators have, on occasion, intervened, such as when Pam asks one to alert her if they see any indications to suggest that Dwight and Angela are in a relationship, which the camera operator does, or when the crew shows Jim and Pam recent footage of the two kissing, in order to elicit an explanation from them. However, they have also done the exact opposite, even in critical situations, such as when Dwight tricks his co-workers into believing that the building is on fire, and the crew neglects to inform everyone that it is just a safety drill even though it results in a massive panic, and a member of the crew gets trampled by the staff. While they remain mostly unseen, the crew members have appeared in the background in the episodes "Health Care (The Office), Health Care", "Office Olympics", "The Fire (The Office), The Fire", "The Fight (The Office), The Fight", "The Secret (The Office), The Secret", "Branch Wars","Survivor Man", and "Customer Survey". The ninth-season premiere marked the first time the audience has heard one of them speak, as when Pam and Jim finish their interview outlining their summer, Pam brings up the crew's lengthy stay at the office, asking the cameraman "Don't you guys have everything? I mean, it's just a paper company", to which the interviewer (voiced by David Rogers (film editor), David Rogers) replies "Well, we're more following you guys, to see how you turn out". During a 2007 Writer's Block Question and Answer session at ''The Office'' Convention, the writers half-jokingly suggested that the original reason for the camera crew filming the staff's lives was to see how the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch handled the suicide of a co-worker (that employee being Tom Peets), but the crew changed its focus upon realizing that the daily events in the office would make a more captivating documentary.Brian
Brian (Chris Diamantopoulos) was the film crew's boom operator. He was not seen until the episode "Customer Loyalty (The Office), Customer Loyalty", in which he comforts a tearful Pam after a fight with Jim, ordering the cameras to be shut off while doing so. In “Junior Salesman”, Pam apologizes to him, as his actions caused him to be reprimanded by his superiors, although he tells her not to feel guilty about it. In "Vandalism (The Office), Vandalism", Brian is fired from the documentary after breaking protocol by hitting the warehouse worker Frank across the face with his mic when it appears that he is going to physically assault Pam. Shortly after his termination, he tells Pam that, should she ever need anything, to just let him know, leaving her grateful, but confused. In "Couples Discount", the Halperts plan to have lunch with Brian and his wife, Alyssa, to thank him for protecting Pam from Frank. When they arrive, they are surprised to be meeting only with Brian, who reveals that he is getting a divorce. He and his wife had been fighting for a while. In "Promos (The Office), Promos", Pam visits Brian at his apartment, and tells him that upon seeing the old footage she thinks Jim's feelings for her have largely faded, and Brian agrees. When she asks about what the crew filmed, he tells her that every important moment was captured even when not wearing their microphones. Realizing the extent to which their privacy has been violated, Pam storms out of Brian's house.Notes
